    Great motherboard... Not much else to say.

    Has some nice features and is possible over clock a non k cpu on (with hacked bios). Is an ugly brown color but its kind of hard to see with cards and fans covering it

    Great motherboard, and it looks really nice, but do note that if you are using an S340 with this motherboard, you're going to have to mess with the case fan cables, since on the S340, the fans are connected to a bigger fan plug, but for some reason I couldn't find that on this motherboard, luckily it was a logical easy fix.

    from completed build BlackHawk Friday: Mid-Tier Build

    Fantastic mobo. At a similar price point you will find boards with H170A framework, fewer slots, and a base RAM speed of 2133 (This board has a base of 2400). The upgraded version is the PC Mate, but I frankly can't see why you'd get that one. It has some additional ports, like an HDMI, but if you have a GPU then you don't need those anyway. Don't waste money on features that you won't use. Often goes on a good sale.

    from completed build Giant on a dwarf

    Just perfect. It has features I'm not interested in, thought to overclock the processor, but it has all the slots I needed, specially all the fan connectors and USBs 3.0 + 2.0 I wanted.

    Plenty of room for all of my components, only wish it came with more than one USB 3.0 header

    Picked this up for $79 on a new egg sale. Works fine and have had no issues. The color needs to be black instead of a brownish tint. But, you can't see it in the case.
